This pattern recalls the adoption of Bill 44, which transferred the <em>Fonds de recherche du Qu\u00e9bec<\/em> to the <em>Minist\u00e8re de l&#8217;\u00c9conomie, de l\u2019Innovation et de l\u2019\u00c9nergie<\/em>. This decision sparked a wave of opposition within the academic community. Madeleine Pastinelli notes, &#8220;If we want Quebec to continue producing high-quality research and training the best researchers, it is essential to have a <em>Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019Enseignement sup\u00e9rieur<\/em> that is both strong and responsive to the academic community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f77bcd7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f77bcd7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4170797\" data-id=\"4170797\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d95c9ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d95c9ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a52e2fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial\" data-id=\"a52e2fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"testimonial.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-content\"><p><b>If we want Quebec to continue producing high-quality research and training the best researchers, it is essential to have a Minist\u00e8re de l\u2019Enseignement sup\u00e9rieur that is both strong and responsive to the academic community.<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta elementor-has-image elementor-testimonial-image-position-aside\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-meta-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/fqppu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MadeleinePastinelli_FQPPU.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-1523\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fqppu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MadeleinePastinelli_FQPPU.png 500w, https:\/\/fqppu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MadeleinePastinelli_FQPPU-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/fqppu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/MadeleinePastinelli_FQPPU-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-name\">Madeleine Pastinelli<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial-job\">President of FQPPU<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17407c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"17407c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5b3cc97 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5b3cc97\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cd7370d\" data-id=\"cd7370d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c22d88a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c22d88a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><b style=\"color: inherit;
